3/4 Helmet Reviews Anyone?

Twism, I have that same hassle with my glasses. My normal helmet is just a solid full face and I have to take them off every time, but my 'around town' helmet is a full face flip-up helmet, so it gives me the convenience of putting on the helmet without taking them off. It's much nicer, although the helmet itself isn't as nice.

I don't mind the sound of a v-twin, I hate how obnoxious people with them are. I always thought I hated the sound, but then I realized that it was only because I associated it with Harleys, and that made me hate it. Ever since I got into Buells I realize I don't mind the noise at all, it's just how it's used. I've actually got a new exhaust coming for my bike so it'll be a bit louder and be capable of making the same noise as those choppers, but I'll quietly ride down my street when I'm leaving my house, keep the rpms low in town and around crowded areas, I'll let the bike idle normally at redlights, I'll pull away from redlights and stop signs without blipping my throttle 3 times, and the only time I'll really make some noise is when I'm on back roads working on some corners, just like I do with the V&H on the GS. It's just the people who sit there and rev their engine non stop because they love hearing themselves at the expense of everyone else around them.

Agreed. Sounds great when your accelerating but no need to be a "donkey" while sitting at lights. Same as the jerk who keeps the music blasting in his car.

When I'm on an open road cruising in 5th gear I love going WOT just to hear the noise coming out of the exhaust but I keep it under control when there's people around.

I actually just got an email a few seconds ago from the guy who makes the Buell exhausts saying mine is done. gotta go call him!
